I love the Philipine violets - so delicate and pretty. It's wonderful of you to make the prayer shawls and I'm sure they are so very appreciated. I hope you win the yarn giveaway. I have hummingbirds year-round and I just love them so much.

We went out for lunch and were bundled up in thick coats, head scarfs and mittens. Capri's would be so simple in comparison. Your flowers are so pretty...but kills me I have to wait out at least 4 months to see any here! But I'll enjoy seeing yours.

I see the odd winter dandelion here during warmer breaks, and sometimes a tiny viola, but for the most part, these are the several months without blooms. <br />I remember our first Florida visit many decades ago. We went from Vermont where it had been below zero for weeks into what seemed a tropical paradise [Orlando] and saw folks going about huddled in winter coats!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-73197631181091690872017-12-14T15:36:01.378-05:002017-12-14T15:36:01.378-05:00Lorraine your garden is looking beautiful, one of ...Lorraine your garden is looking beautiful, one of the joys of living in a warm climate. :)Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-44958571427249821402017-12-13T13:21:55.418-05:002017-12-13T13:21:55.418-05:00Truly, I'm struggling to feel your pain...capr...Truly, I'm struggling to feel your pain...capri pants, bare feet...hmmm.

It is very kind of you to make them.<br /><br />Your blooming flowers are gorgeous. I miss my flowers. Here near St Louis nothing is blooming anymore, the leaves have fallen and are blowing everywhere. We have been having such strong winds here, that I haven't even put my wreath on the door yet. I think it will be blown off. I've decided to try and hang it on in the usual way and wrap some thin nylon sewing thread around the storm door and wreath to try and keep it from blowing away. Today a very heavy little table I use for plants on the front porch blew off of the porch. <br /><br />The hummingbirds must have come down to your house to get away from winter up here, but today many many flocks of robins were gathering here on our street. My persimmon tree was completely covered in them as they pecked and gulped down all of the persimmons that were left on the tree. I don't know if they migrate south or not, but wherever they were going they were all travelling with a belly full of persimmons.<br /><br />I was surprised at how cold it was at your house. Stay cozy.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-71442169379606829832017-12-11T19:40:51.961-05:002017-12-11T19:40:51.961-05:00It was warm enough today to work at putting the ga...It was warm enough today to work at putting the garden to bed, cleaning up the grounds and planting tulips. It was great, but temporary. Reading your post beneath about your husband being with our Lord is a reassurance and a promise for all of we Christians. It must give you great comfort, and a sense of closeness, knowing that your dear husband is safe in the arms of Jesus.

I reminds me of hibiscus blooms(?) <br /><br />What a wonderful thing to do-knit those prayer shawls. Someone sent my hubby one when he was undergoing chemo and radiation and he still uses it across his shoulders all the time. In the beginning he put it over the top of his head and it draped down over his shoulders.<br /><br />Those temps are cold for Florida. We are in the midst of winter now for sure. 2" of snow this morning and I suspect more coming soon. <br /><br />Hope you have a great week.xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.com
